DLE Culture Chat: Likeability: It’s More Than a Popularity Contest

This is an educational program that does not have political alliance or affiliation.

Whether working from your virtual workplace or campaign trail, getting the support of others factors heavily in success.

The topic of likeability headlines the April 16 Culture Chat with guest speaker Colin Schmitt, one of New York State’s youngest elected officials.

Titled Likeability: It’s More Than a Popularity Contest, this 60-minute interactive session features conversation with Colin, age 30, a two-term Assemblyman from New York’s 99th District, about overcoming age biases to positively connect with others.

Breakout discussions will encourage exchanges of experiences and approaches for these questions and more:

• How do you get others to like you without betraying your personal beliefs?
• How do you create a connection when differences stand in the way of your opinion and that of others?
• How do you work through the issue of likeability when you are not feeling confident?

The program starts at noon ET and advance registration is required. There is no charge to attend, thanks to the sustained underwriting of Dulye & Co.

Colin will share strategies that have helped him to build connections since becoming politically active in high school as the youngest aide hired by the New York State Assembly. While in college, Colin founded and chaired a nonpartisan government reform political action committee (New Dawn NY) that promoted ethics reform, budget reform and job creation.
